Harry Briggs
6th Bn. King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry
15th September 1916
Plot VI. R. 10.
Harry was born in Pontefract in 1886, the son of John and Ann Briggs of Post Office Yard. He married Susan Websdale in 1911 and three years later enlisted and joined the KOYLI 6th Battalion, who were formed that same year joining the 43rd Battalion in the 14th Light Division. Harry was 28 years old when he was posted to Aldershot in February 1915, and then on 21 May 1915 the 6th Battalion KOYLI were sent to Boulogne to fight in the Battles of the Somme. From service records we know that Harry was killed on 15 September 1916, and from our research, it would appear that Harry would have been involved in action in one of the battles of Delville Wood near Longueval Village.
He is remembered on the war memorial at Thurnscoe, Rotherham, his family having moved there in later years.
